Division Two Policies

1. Division Composition and Responsibilities: Division Two encompasses the counties of Colbert. Lauderdale, Franklin, Madison and Cullman in North Alabama and includes all Kiwanis Clubs in good standing located therein.  The Lt. Governor for each Division is responsible for assisting the District Governor in the administration of his/her duties, presiding over the Division council meetings and assisting the clubs in the Division in accomplishing their goals.  
    
2. Lieutenant Governor Rotation: Each club in the Division is responsible for providing a member to serve as the Lt. Governor, in its turn, on a rotational basis.  The upcoming Lt. Governor and Lt. Governor-Elect will be elected at the first Council meeting of the administrative year by a simple majority of the Division Council members present, to serve during the following administrative year.  Any Lt. Governor or Lt. Governor-Elect candidate shall have previously served as a Club President.  Any club which fails to provide a candidate for the office of Lt. Governor, when its turn arrives, will rotate to the bottom of the list as though it had provided a candidate.  Clubs may trade or swap positions in the rotation as long as it is mutually agreed to by both Clubs and duly documented either by joint memorandum signed by both Club Presidents and presented to the Council for enclosure in the Council Minutes or otherwise agreed to during a Council meeting and included in the minutes of said meeting.  Upon expiration of any trade, the original order of rotation will be in effect.  New Clubs built within the Division will be added to the bottom of the rotation.
    
3. Council Membership:  The Division Council is comprised of the Lt. Governor, Lt. Governor-Elect, Immediate Past Lt. Governor, and the President and Secretary of each Club in the Division.  Past Alabama District Governor(s) that are members of a Division One Club may, at their discretion, serve as Members-at-Large.
    
4. Council Meetings: The Division Council will meet approximately quarterly at the call of the Lt. Governor.  One of the council meetings will be held in conjunction with the annual Governor’s visit to the Division.  The last Council meeting of the year will be a joint meeting scheduled by the out-going Lt. Governor, in coordination with the in-coming Lt. Governor, and attended by both the out-going and in-coming Councils.
    
5.  Interclub: The cost of meals for each interclub will paid by the visiting club or club members.
